New Mexico Gun Ban Bill Fails to Reach House Floor Before Session Adjourns

Summary

A proposed gun ban bill, SB 17, in New Mexico that sought to ban the sale of gas-operated centerfire rifles and other commonly owned firearms, failed to advance in the House before the legislative session adjourned. This means the restrictive measure will not become law this session, marking a victory for gun rights advocates in the state. Gun owners in New Mexico are not currently subject to this specific ban.
